CHAPTER ONE: OVERVIEW (Electric and Natural Gas)
In accordance with Connecticut General Statutes § 16-245m and § 16-32f, The Connecticut Light and Power Company (“CL&P”), The United Illuminating Company (“UI”) (collectively, the “Electric Companies”) and The Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation (“CNG”), The Southern Connecticut Gas Company (“SCG”), and Yankee Gas Services Company (“Yankee Gas”) (collectively the “Natural Gas Companies”) hereby submit this multi-year comprehensive Conservation & Load Management (“C&LM”) Plan (“2013-2015 Conservation &Load Management Plan”, or the “Plan”) for the implementation of cost-effective electric and natural gas energy efficiency programs and market transformation initiatives.
This is the fourteenth C&LM Plan prepared by the Electric Companies since passage of the State’s restructuring legislation (Public Act 98-28) and the seventh plan filed by the Natural Gas Companies since passage of the State’s energy independence legislation (Public Act 05-01). In conjunction with the Energy Efficiency Board (“EEB”) (formerly the Energy Conservation Management Board) and the EEB consultants, the Companies have developed and deployed cost-effective, integrated electric and gas efficiency and conservation programs to all classes of energy consumers throughout the state. On June 14, 2012 the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (“DEEP”) released the 2012 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). In that plan, DEEP concluded that the analytical calculations they performed provided strong support, in terms of widespread economic and environmental benefits, for achieving all cost-effective energy efficiency. To capture this opportunity, DEEP concluded that the state can cost-effectively achieve approximately 2% annual electric energy savings by increasing the offerings from and budget for Conservation and Load Management (C&LM) programs.
The attached Plan comports with the DEEP findings in the IRP and is projected to deliver electric savings of approximately 2.1 percent of sales per year on average over the three-year period. Recommendations from the state’s recently drafted Comprehensive Energy Plan (CES) are also integrated into this 3-year Plan. The 2013-2015 C&LM Plan represents a continuation of integrating the C&LM plans for both the Electric Distribution Companies (“EDCs”) and Natural Gas Local Distribution Companies (“LDCs”), to benefit electric and gas customers and to reduce duplicative efforts. Historically, the natural gas programs have delivered savings of 0.3 percent of sales, on average, over the past three years, and are projected to deliver gas savings of 0.5% of sales on average in 2013-2015. The EDCs and LDCs will continue to monitor overall market response and program effectiveness and will maintain the flexibility to reallocate unspent program dollars within program sectors to in-demand programs. This flexibility will allow the EDCs and LDCs to react to market conditions, enhance their capacity to achieve cost-effective savings, and will minimize undue interruptions in program offerings in the marketplace.
The plan also takes a “fuel blind” approach to energy efficiency in the residential sector. Public Act 12-1 deferred the limitations on spending Energy Efficiency Fund money on homes heated by fuel oil that had been imposed by PA 11-80 until August 1, 2013. Since the plan presented here is a three-year plan, it assumes the oil funding issue will be addressed at a minimum level through the use of Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) dollars; adjustments will be made to the subsequent years if the limitation remains in effect or if additional program funding is provided by the fuel oil industry.
The three-year Plan contains two related yet distinct plans comprised of two different levels of energy savings and funding. First, the Expanded Plan describes the programs, strategies, budgets and increased funding levels necessary to achieve the State’s increased savings goals. Additionally, a Base Plan chapter is included which reflects the standard three-year budgets and savings associated with the traditional
2
funding sources (mill rate, etc.) for a C&LM base three-year plan in the event funding for the increased savings in the Expanded Plan is not available.
Please find the attached table which reflects the savings by year (2013 to 2015) for the Electric Companies (CL&P, UI and Combined) in MWHs and its respective savings percentage of the MWH usage. Additionally, the second table reflects the savings by year (2013 to 2015) for the Natural Gas Companies (YGS, SCG and CNG and Combined) in MMCF and their respective savings percentage of the MMCF usage.

Due to the time it takes to accelerate program implementation, any delay in approving Expanded Plan
program funding results in a significant loss of savings, even when spending is concentrated in latter
months. The Companies are not able to ramp up marketing activities and the delivery infrastructure to
the higher levels of program implementation in the Expanded Plan unless and until the funding for the
Expanded Plan is approved. Additional issues are listed below:
Contractors will not invest in their infrastructure (labor, equipment etc.) without an increased funding level commitment.
Large C&I customers are unwilling to invest in the upfront engineering time and expanse unless there is a commitment that commensurate funding for the energy efficiency measures is available.
The lead time on ordering and installing large C&I projects can take approximately 12 to 18 months.
The level of activity (marketing, vendor networks, increased sales forces, etc.) that Connecticut will need to accomplish to achieve these aggressive goals will take several months to ramp up to an effective level.
The graph below shows how projected savings revert quickly toward the Base Plan level of energy
savings if the approved funding for the Expanded Plan is delayed, because the program administrators
must allow for uncertainty.

The Companies are pleased to submit their first multi-year Plan. A three-year plan provides the budget flexibility needed to take advantages of market opportunities as they arise and enables the Companies to sustain a commitment to energy efficiency on behalf of the customers we serve.

also demonstrates program stability to the “green industry” that delivers products and services through the C&LM programs. The three-year planning horizon also provides the multi-year framework and perspective to develop and implement some innovative and effective program strategies that take more than one year to develop and realize their benefits.
Connecticut’s Energy Efficiency program administrators have worked diligently throughout the year with the EEB consultants, regulators, trade allies, consumer and business organizations, advocacy groups and other stakeholders to solicit input that has shaped this plan. This collaboration, coupled with periodic program adjustments facilitated by a multi-year plan, is an industry best practice and a key part of our continuous improvement process that will keep us a national leader in energy efficiency and help Connecticut reclaim the top spot.
New for this Plan is a separate Marketing Chapter (Chapter 7). This chapter describes a strategy of marketing by customer segments, rather than by specific programs. Specific marketing initiatives and action items are included with the program pages when appropriate. The Marketing Chapter also includes a description of the statewide marketing initiative, Energize Connecticut, which was created in 2012 and will be fully integrated into the marketing messaging in 2013 and beyond.
In addition, this is the first Plan that integrates performance matrix for the natural gas companies.
In order to ramp up and achieve the increasing savings levels over the three-year period (while improving cost effectiveness), the Companies plan to make the following investments in time and program design:
Program Delivery: The delivery mechanisms of the vendor-based direct install programs including Home Energy Solutions (HES), Home Energy Solutions-Income Eligible (HES-IE) and Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) will be reevaluated and reengineered as appropriate to incorporate best practices. Additionally, program delivery will utilize technology including, but not limited to, the mobile applications to perform HES assessments and customer proposals and a web based customer engagement software platform to facilitate deeper, add-on measures.
Marketing & Customer Segmentation: The Companies will continue to invest in marketing methods to identify the needs of various customer segments and design offerings specifically targeted to these segments.
Sales & Consultative Selling: The Companies will develop an Energy Efficiency sales staff that is experienced in energy efficiency sales and are trained to deal with company executives such as Chief Executive Officers, Chief Financial Officers, Presidents, and General Managers to increase the traditional energy efficiency project channels that primarily relied upon the technical sales from the Companies’ Account Executives, third party contractors and Energy Service Companies who sell projects primarily though Facility Managers.
Grass Roots / Community Initiatives: The Companies plan to continue to ramp up efforts of the Clean Energy Communities program which is a joint effort between the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund and the Connecticut Energy Financing Investment Authority (CEFIA). These efforts are proving successful in generating energy efficiency and renewable energy awareness as well as increasing customer engagement and program participation.

Residential Home Energy Reporting. The three year plan will include the incorporation of a Residential Behavior program.
Industrial Sector Emphasis: As recognized by the Comprehensive Energy Strategy (CES), the Companies will be investing in industrial energy efficiency at a more aggressive rate in an effort to minimize the negative impact on energy costs in this sector. According to the CES assessment, $1.1 billion is currently being spent on energy by industry today and is expected to rise to $1.6 billion by 2050 under a “business as usual” scenario. The CES vision is that continued long-term investment in energy efficiency reduces industrial energy use by approximately 40% and that investing $1.2 billion through 2050 could create $2.1 billion in net savings. Near-term CES proposed actions under consideration: tailor energy efficiency program delivery to the needs of industry; focus programs for specific industry sub-sectors; increase the availability of technical assistance; provide best-in-class financing options; improve program accessibility for small and medium-sized industrial businesses. This ramp up will be accomplished through the use of increased customer segment analysis of the industrial market and alignment with key industrial vendors and trade allies.

In order to achieve the Plan’s aggressive savings goals, while, while recognizing our business customers’ perception of the long-standing economic malaise addressed in Chapter 4, the Companies have identified the following key priorities for 2013-2015, as reflected in this Plan.
Market Transformation & Program Delivery
Over the years, the Electric and Natural Gas Companies have worked closely with the EEB to successfully influence and effect change in building design, renovations, maintenance practices and equipment performance. Often these improvements come through changes to the State Building Code and Appliance Standards, or as a result of collaboration with trade and business associations. While the Companies will continue have a critical role in these changes, we are also playing a part in the transformation of energy efficiency from an institutionally-supported paradigm to a market-based practice that will be become the “new normal”.
Increasingly, the business community is embracing energy efficiency and strategic energy management as a standard business practice, and, in the residential sector, as a necessity. An objective of the C&LM programs is to help facilitate that shift. The challenge will be to maintain the deeper savings per customer that the Companies have been able to accomplish over the past few years and prevent the market from migrating back to the few cost-effective measures that yield the majority of the higher paybacks. Efforts in 2013-2015 will include an emphasis on programs and initiatives that promote sustainable energy management as a core consumer and business value. Ultimately, as the green market continues to grow, programs should move from a primary dependency on public benefit charges to a more self-sustaining industry that can be supplemented, or leveraged, though Energy Efficiency Fund resources.
